I love the decor style called “Americana”. And Wood Words is the perfect stamp set to create a unique Americana look. I know I probably say this about every stamp set, but Wood Words was one of the first sets to catch my eye. I like rustic looks and this stamp set is perfect for this.
Also perfect for this look is one of the papers from the Wood Textures DSP Stack. I love these papers for their realistic look and what I will be able to do for both decor items and cards. I had not tried a thing with these fabulous papers. But today I saw a great Americana room look on an e-mail from Birch Lane. While I love the look, re-decorating a room is not something I want to do right now. Next best thing to getting my creativity fix for Americana? A card, of course!
Here’s a close-up of the card so you can see just how realistic the paper looks! It appears I have stamped on a whitewashed board. But this is paper.

Americana is the first thing that came to mind for the Wood Words set, but it also perfect for fall and Thanksgiving cards. And I can’t wait to try out some decor using the coordinating Wood Crate dies! You can see the beautiful rustic designs in the stamp set below. Click on the image to learn more and see a video!
And with all the beautiful DSP and embellishments that go with this suite, you can see below how perfect this set is for fall decor and card making. The wood crates are cut from the dies in the Wood Crate Framelits. I can see them as perfect treat containers for fall, Thanksgiving, Halloween or Christmas!
Check out this new suite soon! I know you will love the rustic , vintage look and come up with great ideas for using this for your fall gifting, decor and card making!

I love this card Susan. The gingham ribbon really sets it off. I’ve had Wood Words for a while but haven’t used it yet. Now I have to get busy.
Thanks Jayne! This gingham ribbon is one of my favs. I think now is the time to pull out Wood Words. It is perfect for fall.
Such a great creation! I just love the worn wood look with the patriotic colors. Thanks so much for sharing it with us! <3
Thanks Jackie! yes, the worn wood really sets up the look.
